Dear Mr Chokroborty Sorry I couldn't reply to ur comments as I was out sice thursday. But the solution was already written in my previous mail. Here I repeat it again - TIMESNOW has not shown any footage of the stripped woman but reported the news with heavy condemnation. They carried out an half hour long panel discussion on it (of much better quality deliberations than what we r witnessing here) with prominent people. I think this program had more audience with good IQ than the programs where the audience waited for the photograph to come on screen again & again. >>May I know why you are shouting ...... or is it just that the CAPS lock in your keyboard is stuck :)<< thats what u commented -
BTW people shouldn't presume that what they are doing others will be definitely doing the same Regards Muktikam Krishnendu Chakraborty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> HIDING THE FACE OF THE WOMAN IS NOT THE SOLUTION. >>WILL YOU AGREE TO SUCH A SOLUTION IF THAT HAPPENS >>TO YOUR OWN SISTER OR MOTHER OR ANY RELATIVE ? So what is the solution .... shove it under the carpet just like our Netas were trying to do until Media exposed it ? By your logic a rape victim should not move to court/police station ! You would probably advice this if your relative is a victim of such incident. >From what I see in this forum, people are more concerned primarily because this exposure caused a negative publicity to Assam and NOT because they are concerned about the modesty of the woman. This is apparent from many questioning why media exposed it for Assam and never do it for other places .

Exposing such henious acts are not a Assam/India media phenomenon but is done by media all over world. What is the allegation against media --- 1) That they exposed a crime 2) That it gave Assam a bad publicity 3) That the lady (whose identity is not disclosed by the photograph) has been insulted Seeing all the posts in this forum, I suspect it is number 2 above. But then, had media not exposed it, would there been such swift action from GOA. The GOA was earlier trying to cover it up as a minor incident. The Assam Police already mentiond that they have identified the culprits from the media footage. If someone can prove that what media showed is false/fabricated, I am all with him in blaming media but this does not seem to be the case here. Yes, it gave a negative publicity to Assam but that was NOT because of Media's fault .... it was because of our Government's fault. The incident could have been controlled much earlier had the police force been active. To dilute the situation, there are already comments by some that the Adivasi's were inebriated, or that why they should demand such things in Assam. All set aside, there cannot be any justification to such barbaric act .. period. BTW, does someone know what happened to Barnali rape case ..... a child who was raped and murdered by some Network travel employees? >>Media always exposes such incidents be it Assam or Abu Ghraib. I thought it is duty of Media. >> TIMESNOW has not shown any footage of the stripped woman but reported the news with heavy condemnation. In fact Arnab >>Goswami has raised a very pertinent question - >> "HAS ANYONE TAKEN THE PERMISSION OF THE LADY BEFORE SHOWING HER NAKED PHOTOS ? ARE WE NOT ADDING FURTHER INSULT TO THE >>ALREADY INSULTED POOR WOMAN ?" ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better pen pal.
